A 2014 Pacific Institute and VOX Global survey of major U.S. corporations found that 60% of companies believe water challenges will negatively affect business growth and profitability within five years. Despite growing concerns, most companies are not increasing the breadth and scale of their water risk management practices. In fact, nearly 70% said their current level of investment in water management is sufficient. In this roundtable, in partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), participants will discuss key trends of a changing water world, and explore a framework for corporate water stewardship to create sustainable solutions that yield societal, environmental, and financial benefits.
